Aberdeen FC have become the first club in Scotland to use The Sports Office online performance management system, within all football-related departments of our organisation. The Sports Office online performance management system operates an online system for all football support practitioners involved in the sport at elite and professional level.
Aberdeen Youth Academy began using the system via The Sports Office’s work with the Scottish Football Association’s national player performance programmes. The online system which includes sports medicine, sports science, statistical analysis, administration, communication and scouting recording mechanisms has been gradually rolled out to Youth Academy staff and players over the past two years.
Players have been issued with personal accounts which allow them to track their development at training sessions, receive feedback on their performance in matches and receive communication from coaches and other football staff in relation to sport-science and best-practice, and its all easily accessible from a mobile device. The system also allows coaches to easily record training sessions and provide objective and subjective analysis of players performance, while monitoring the breakdown of training sessions.
Having recognised how its extensive functionality can support and benefit all aspects of our football performance cycle the club have opted to implement the system on a club-wide basis and become the first Scottish club to do so.
Steven Gunn, Aberdeen FC’s Football Operations Manager said “We’re delighted to be involved with an ever-growing and innovative organisation like The Sports Office. Their Football Squad software has enabled us to further professionalise our Football Operation and support all areas of the player development process. It’s the first system of its kind to cover all the areas we see as key to our football strategy and we’re pleased with the progress we’ve made in the early part of the partnership. The Sports Office share our philosophy of continual improvement and innovation and we look forward to developing the relationship further in the future.”
Aberdeen FC’s, The Sports Office Client Manager Carl Pomfret has been working closely with the club during the implementation period and commented that ”Aberdeen FC have a significant place in Scottish and European football. They have an illustrious history and exciting future and so we look forward to working with them for the long term.”
